Before Golden State takes the floor against New Orleans, the Warriors' official social media account posted a historic announcement regarding Butler. The Warriors star became the first player in franchise history to record 300+ points, 100+ rebounds and 100+ assists in their first 20 games played.

The Jimmy Butler era in Golden State has been an overall success, as the Warriors went from almost missing out on the play-in tournament to being in contention

Butler was worthy of the hype. Not only because of how he put the Heat on his back on epic postseason runs, establishing himself as one of the league’s prominent figures.
